Am I missing } something obvious? Nothing jumps out. Does it take a long time only when opening a terminal, or does it also take a long time if you just run "zsh" (or also try "zsh -l") from the command line of an existing terminal? If it's slow in one of those circumstances, run again with the -x option and look for delays. Fedora does appear to have upgraded from 4.3.10 to 4.3.11 with F15. I wouldn't have expected that by itself to make a difference but it is possible that the shell startup is now loading more or different /etc/profile.d stuff. You might try some of the startup-time suggestions made recently on this list, such as "unsetopt hashcmds hashdirs" in your ~/.zshenv to put off scanning everything in your $path.
